Mucho conrats to Karlene from Encinitas California for winning a free trip to surf Samoa with the etnies team! Karlene won with an entry sent via regular US Mail! Can you believe that? Wow, just goes to show technology isn't the best for everything now is it? She will be hitting the beach with CJ Kanuha, Jonathon and David Dupont, Mary Osborne and Jeff Flindt, editor of Surfing magazine. Congrats Karlene!

The rest of you will see photos and news from her trip once all is said and done. As for the future, there will be more contests soon. Don't give up! Thanks to all who entered.
